Having worked over 20 years in the wedding industry I can tell you that it is quite common to have them in the same place. Churches use the parish hall all the time, hotels use one room for the ceremony and another for the reception and lets not forget all the home and garden weddings that have the ceremony and reception side by side. It makes it easier because the guests don't get lost and the cars only get parked once. It also allows the wedding party to take pictures after the ceremony and not have to worry about delaying dinner even longer by having to then drive to the reception. Perhaps your friends just don't like the spot you have chosen.

First, it's your day, do what keeps you in a joyful mood. I am constantly asking my family's opinions on things for my wedding, but I'm always more comfortable with what I chose in the first place. Second, it's easier on the guests to have it all in one place rather than travel to one place for the ceremony and another for the reception. My wedding's going to be at a country club, our ceremony will be outside by the lake. Afterwards, our guest will simply go inside the building for the reception. Much less hassle I think!!

The weddings I have attended (mine included!) has had the wedding ceremony in the church and the wedding reception in a hotel or hall. Most places been within 15 miles of each other, but some have been further. Have your ceremony and reception where you want.

Its your wedding - whoever is reacting negatively is being rude. It actually makes things easier - then everyone doesn't have to drive to 2 different places. I have been to several weddings where the ceremony and the reception were in the place - they were all lovely weddings. Just remember, it is your day!

I had a ton of out of town guests coming to me wedding who were not at all familiar with with area. In order to cut down on stress for everyone involved we had the wedding and reception at the same place. It was a historic hotel and once the ceremony was complete we shifted the entire party into the banquet hall for a sit-down dinner... Once the dinner was over we opened the next room up for the dance floor. It was great! We had 3 locations in one and no one had to travel. Plus, all of the guests stayed at the hotel. I've seen it done both ways, and personally believe having both at one location is wonderful for all parties.

It is perfectly acceptable to have them the same place. The people were probably just surprised you aren't having a traditional church wedding followed by a reception at some banquet hall.
Times are changing - I had my wedding the same place as the reception and it was wonderful. :)
Good luck finding the perfect spot! SD

I would think that it would be ideal - especially for out of town guests. My sister was married at an inn, the ceremony was performed then we all went outdoors for cocktails and photos, then a two minute walk through the beautiful ski hill (though it was summer) to the reception hall. It was fantastic. No driving, looking for parking, or finding something to do in between the ceremony and reception. Perfect!

Your wedding is your special day. Your wedding reception should take place where you would like it too. Sometimes it just isn't feasible to have both the wedding and the reception in the same place. It should be your preference, it is your day!

All of my brothers and sisters were married at my parent's estate in New England. It couldn't have been more beautiful. They have a wonderful place in Martha's Vineyard, and their had to be at least 250 people at each of them. A lot of the close relatives stayed in the guest rooms as well as the two guest cottages. The services were performed within view of the ocean, and the receptions were just magical. My Father had the same people do all of the weddings, and they were so talented. You would not believe the flowers. So, I don't know whats wrong with your friends!

can not think of of the call of it, yet there's a eating place ideal on the bay in long coastline. My sister's reception became there in the process the week. the difficulty is that your customer record may well be too extreme for a eating place feast room. maximum of those are constrained to approximately 50 or so human beings.
